Involved with Her

Well-behaved good girl who follows the rules vs. carefree playboy

Yun Chu had a quiet crush on Jiang Ci for all three years of high school.

Back then, Jiang Ci was one of the most popular students on campus, while she was just a nobody in class.

But she had her bold moments, like writing a line in Jiang Ci's yearbook: "May my boy always be sincere and passionate."

They met again at a blind date.

He was the guest, and she was just watching.

The young man, with his showy blond hair, curled his lip at the girl across from him. "You're too much, and I hate trouble."

He was still the same as before, carefree and unrestrained.

He didn't recognize her.

Later, the two signed a dating contract.

Only when Jiang Ci's secret crush returned from abroad was their clandestine arrangement forced to end.

At a class reunion, someone joked without restraint, "Ci, when was your first time?"

Jiang Ci smiled and said, "May 21, 2021."

Yun Chu's ears suddenly flushed red.

The person continued, "And when did you first fall for someone?"

Jiang Ci answered lazily, "October 1, 2017."

She looked up in a daze, and their eyes met in the dim private room.

It turned out that she hadn't been alone in this grand, all-consuming secret crush.

"A secret crush is a book sealed away in the sea of time. After all these years, at last, someone has opened its first page."

Sweet, innocent girl x aloof, rebellious boy with a cynical streak

On her first day after transferring schools, Ji Zhixia offended the person no one at school dared to mess with.

Everyone said she was finished.

While everyone speculated about how Xu Qingye would get revenge on her, Ji Zhixia was sitting in the boy's lap, pushing him away with a flushed face as she said, "Stop kissing me."

Later, Ji Zhixia moved into Uncle Xu's house, where she immediately met the delinquent Uncle Xu had warned her about: Xu Qingye.

The boy had showy blue hair and a diamond stud in his ear. He looked at her with a playful glint in his eyes.

- At the turn of the stairs

He forcefully pulled her into his arms. "Kiss me."

Ji Zhixia trembled all over, bowing her head and repeating "I'm sorry" through her tears.

He shoved her away in a rage and told her to get lost, saying he never wanted to see her again.

After that, Ji Zhixia really did stop showing up in front of Xu Qingye.

Not until the internship period was approaching, when her school advisor led the students to a business banquet. Ji Zhixia never expected to run into Xu Qingye there.

By then, Xu Qingye was a rising star in business, while she was just a lowly intern.

They were worlds apart, yet a contract tied them together again.

That year, Xu Qingye had shed his youthful awkwardness but was still a jerk. He dragged her into his office without a word, locked the door, and pressed her against the desk.

"Don't recognize me?"

"What?"

"You slept with me and don't recognize me?"

-

"You are the delusion I've carried all my life."
